Secluded tiny home glamping opportunities await in rural Almond, Allegany County, NY. This turnkey, off-grid setup sits on 8.6 mostly forested acres and overlooks a scenic 1/3-acre stocked pond, where largemouth bass have been observed. A small ephemeral stream also flows through the property, enhancing its natural charm and appeal.
At the heart of the property is a meticulously crafted tiny home, built by the seller on a 30’ gooseneck trailer. It features a composting toilet, on-demand hot water, solar-powered electric, and a rainwater collection system for sustainable living. The tiny home is finished with recently updated tin siding and a metal roof for long-term durability and low maintenance. (Grid power is also available at the southern boundary of the lot.) Enjoy all the comforts of home in a peaceful, off-grid setting—perfect for couples, families, or hosting friends.
A supplemental bunkhouse provides additional sleeping space, and a second cleared site above the pond is ideal for extra campers or tents. A “spare parts” camper is also onsite and currently used for storage, with salvageable components included.
The sale includes everything needed to continue operating or enjoying the property immediately: all furnishings, tools, and a gas generator. Two solar arrays power the property—one for the tiny home (200W output, expandable) and one for the workshop (45W output). Each array is supported by a 3-battery bank. The tiny home’s array was purchased new in 2019 from Home Depot.
This property offers excellent potential as an Airbnb or short-term rental for those seeking a quiet escape in nature. It also makes an ideal basecamp for exploring the surrounding region.
